2011 Sundance Predictions: Azazel Jacobs’ Terri

Date:

#43. Terri – Azazel Jacobs

If new distrib outfitter ATO Pictures hope to give Azazel Jacobs’ Terri some pre-theatrical buzz, they might want to try the festival circuit by going the Park City or Austin route. Jacobs’ previous film, Momma’s Man was a Sundance selection and he could come back for seconds especially with John C. Reilly toplining a picture that I feel might be this festival’s World’s Greatest Dad in terms of tone.

The pic tells the story of a socially awkward and overweight teenage boy (Jacob Wysocki) who befriends a well-meaning high school Vice Principal (Reilly), who has his own share of insecurities.

* Producers: Alison Dickey, Hunter Gray, Lynette Howell and Alex Orlovsky
